About the Game

Frameland delivers a retro experience with charming pixel art and an original 16-bit soundtrack. Timed turn-based battles keep you on the edge of your seat. Explore a rich world and uncover Condorra’s dark past.

The world of Condorra is full of secrets waiting for you to discover! Your loyal robot companion Proto can dig, grapple, and blast through obstacles, revealing mysteries others can’t reach. Or take to the skies with your airship to revisit familiar locations or explore uncharted territories!

Combat isn’t just about hitting hard—it’s about hitting at the right time. Time your moves to perfection, exploit weaknesses, and manage your resources to outsmart your enemies. Customize your characters with powerful remnants to turn the tide of battle and deliver crushing blows.

Immerse yourself in a world where everything is interactive—every NPC has something to say, and nearly every object holds a story. It’s an RPG with the curiosity-driven charm of a point-and-click adventure, full of hidden surprises and new discoveries.

Experience a gripping tale told from two perspectives—twists and turns included. Thrown into the cold, machine-ravaged world of Condorra, Ryiu must navigate deadly threats, form uneasy alliances, and uncover the world’s darkest secrets. But the road ahead is fraught with danger, and every truth comes at a cost—what will it take for Ryiu to get home?
